Kernel panics are usually caused by a change. Just change it back, whether that is a hardware or software configuration. Could be bad RAM too, but the logs should shed light on what the issue is "Hopefully". Anyways, I have been lucky enough not to have a kernel panic in quite a long time (whatever flavor, in fact, the last time was trying to install a TDM400P in a Dell 1435), I wish I could say that for Asterisk core dumping... Just go with the flavor you like and if support is a huge concern, buy ABE and take the support role off your hands (as long as you are using Digium products).
